This collaborative research made significant progress in the understanding of molecular mechanisms preventing an effective antitumor immune response in oral cancer; the latter due to the production of chemical mediators that induce an anti-inflammatory regulatory response that favors tumor development through a vitamin D signaling pathway. The study was published in Frontiers in Immunology on May 7, 2021.

The study was conducted in a Brazilian national park and was based on analysis of tree rings in the species Amburana cearensis, as well as satellite images.

A research group at São Paulo State University (UNESP) analyzed how Candida albicans fungi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria influence gene expression and tumor cell survival.

Genetic diversity, which reflects the variation in DNA within species and populations and is the key to their capacity to adapt in times of change, is being lost at an alarming rate. According to an article by 28 authors representing 16 countries, the loss of genetic diversity can affect resiliency in the face of environmental change and result in the loss of important services provided to society.
